Prayers and Litanies for the Christian Seasons - Sharlande Sledge - Bog

The words that describe our deepest longings for God, our highest praise for God, and our most distant wanderings from God are often the starting points of our prayers. Prayers & Litanies for the Christian Season focuses each prayer or litany on one word in the vocabulary of our faith, moving through the liturgical year by voicing the language of our hearts.The book is divided into the six seasons of the Christian year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. Primarily designed for congregational worship, the words are appropriate for invocations, prayers of confession, pastoral prayers, and benedictions. A reader using the book for personal devotion will find the poetic style of the prayers fitting for moving through the year "word by word."
